Making some changes in lifestyle

The 2nd week of my journey became easier. I decided to make some lifestyle modifications:

• I started taking more of the staircase instead of elevators/escalators: I stay on the 3rd floor 
• Added some cardio, stretches and dance workout in the house (don’t wait till you go to the gym, your house definitely has more than you think for any work out.
• Increased my walk to an hour. Feeling lighter and more flexible already! 
• Also added a bit of jogging to the walk: here you have to go at your pace. Once you are running out of breath, walk at a comfortable pace

For my diet, I modified what and how I eat. 

• I went easy on the carbs
• Increased fruits and veggies
• Started cutting down on animal source of protein

Breakfast:

• Tuna sandwich (with rye bread);
• Three medium strawberries; and
• A cup of non fat milk. 

Lunch: 

Rice, a piece of chicken, broccoli, and tangerine

• Rice
• Veggies
• Tangerine

Dinner: 

• Moi Moi (Beans pudding) (a Nigerian delicacy)
• Japanese salad with a drizzle of Caesar's salad dressing
• Apple slices
